Alaska Airlines still doesn't care about safety
You'd think that losing an entire aircraft with 88 people aboard due to greed
and inadequate maintenance would have taught Alaska Airlines something, but it hasn't. Look at this latest example of ignoring safety: http://us.cnn.com/2012/08/08/travel/...ote/index.html |

But the FAA said it was safe to fly. The FAA approved the maintenance delays back in 2000, too. And look where that led. Just because the FAA doesn't forbid something doesn't make it a good idea. Alaska Airlines elected to cut corners out of a total lack of concern for safety and pure greed, and apparently they are still doing it today. And you haven't been outside Paris for the past 10 years so how does it give you a problem? Aviation safety is one of my interests. I don't limit my interest in safety to situations that affect me personally; I worry about the safety of others as well. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of people like that (especially in management at Alaska Airlines). |

If you've read all the reports, as I have, you know that the constant extensions of maintenance intervals ultimately resulted in the interval for a jackscrew to extend beyond safe limits. This was compounded by incompetent mechanics doing maintenance on the jackscrew improperly. And you know this how? Because I read all the reports. It's an accident that I studied quite a bit. If you had read all the reports, you'd know this. Essentially you have libeled Alaska Airlines; what do you have to back up these accusations? The reports that I read, and you didn't. They're welcome to try, but they'll lose (and it'll be a PR fiasco for them, too, which might not be such a bad idea). I notice you keep talking about "reports" that are neither named nor quoted. |
